    @PlayOverwatch Cant even play matches because of an error, literally overwatch 1 with more bugs. Idiots

  • Nova2127u Nova💜 (@Nova2127u) reported

    It's kind of sad that Overwatch 2, a glorified update to Overwatch 1, is substantially worse than what Overwatch 1 was. I can't even play in games now due to their latest update, not even custom games, i just get errors upon trying to join. I just want Overwatch 1 back...

  • SWenerski Szymon Wenerski (@SWenerski) reported

    Looking at blizzard forums in the Overwatch 2 threads each patch fixes some things, and breaks even more things. But the worst part is matchmaking system that is utterly broken from top to bottom. This game is utter garbage from software/server side.
